Whoever said you can't wear a denim jacket or shirt, with jeans doesn't know how cool it looks. You can pull this off easily by making sure the washes are at least two shades different from each other—or go to the next level wear colored denim. Don't be afraid to step outside the blue zone and rock acid-washed grays, stark white denim, solid black, or even super light "dad jeans." Don't get annoyed at people who call it a "Canadian tuxedo." Plenty of cool things have come from Canada, like Ryan Gosling, hockey sweaters, and Drake.
